The other day I posted on my Instagram how I saved a ton of money on two Nip+Fab products at CVS. I don’t ‘coupon’ often, but when I do I try to save as much as I can of course. For this particular purchases, I waited for a sale (in this case: buy one, get one 50% off), I combined several CVS coupons and I also used CVS Extrabucks I had acquired. Score! I love these particular Nip+Fab products because they contain Glycolic Acid, which is great for refining pores, brightening the complexion and decongesting the skin, by improving the...

Hello! How is the first week of 2017 going for ya? Hope it’s going better than it is for me. I’ve been having some rough days (long story), but nothing too serious. On some days I just get a little overwhelmed by everything and everybody, but I’m trying my best not to let stuff get to me as much…. Anyway, I have an awesome product to share with you today. I’ve been wanting to review this product in forever (I’ve almost finished the entire jar, that’s how much I love it), but today is finally the day! It’s the Bye...

Happy New Year, everyone! It’s a new year, let’s all make it a great one. 🙂 Are you ready for a huge haul? I’m going to be showing you ALL the goodies I purchased in November and December and yes…it’s a lot! I kinda went overboard, because of all the sales that were going on. I didn’t pay full price for any of these things. Most of these items were either on sale or I used a few (early Christmas) gift cards I had. That’s my way of justifying the money *blank stare* I know it’s a weak excuse, because,...

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you had a great time with your family and friends. We had an amazing time. 🙂 I love creating memories and starting new traditions with my little family. Check out my Instagram for a selection of pics. Anyway, thanks so much for sticking around and reading this. My posts are becoming more rare and I don’t have any other explanation for it than the fact that I now have 2 kids instead of 1. Double the fun, but I also have way less time for my blog. Most of the time I’m just tired. I have...

Two months ago I announced that I would be trying and comparing two popular eye creams and I enthusiastically named my upcoming review the ‘battle of two eye creams’. I started using the Stem Cell Collagen Moisturizer by Lady Soma and I planned on switching to Made From Earth’s Chamomile Eye Therapy after 4 weeks of use. Unfortunately, the idea of comparing the two didn’t quite work out, because I immediately started getting little bumps under my eyes after a few days of using the first one. I think it might have been an allergic reaction to one of the...

When I first started applying makeup, I didn’t even know makeup primers existed. And honestly, I was never really satisfied with how my foundation look (which was just powder back then), but I wasn’t quite sure what to do about it. Until I discovered primers. A primer really does make your makeup look better and also extends the wear it! Once I started applying a primer before my powder, I never looked back. 😀 Primers don’t just go well with powders, also liquid foundation benefit from having a ‘base’ to sit on. Just think of it as painting a wall:...

It’s been really busy this past week, guys. Having a toddler and a baby sure does take up a lot of time. I haven’t even had time to properly do my hair after I wash it. Instead of straightening my hair with a flat iron, like I usually do, I’ve been doing a so-called ‘wash-and-go’. Wash-and-go simply means I’ve been washing my hair and letting it air-dry. I have naturally curly hair, so that’s what I’ve been rocking. The picture below is my hubby and I on Thanksgiving. 🙂 My hair has been looking beautiful. Not to toot my own...

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you had a good one. I planned on posting this in the weekend, but of course my plan didn’t work out. The weekend is when we try to do something fun with Mason and having your mom being inside behind her laptop on a sunny day is not my toddler’s idea of having fun. So no blog this weekend. I did, however, receive my PLAY! box on Saturday, which was exciting! I had already seen other’s people pictures on Instagram, so I knew what to expect. Like last month’s, it’s a good one! PLAY! by SEPHORA...

Happy Friday, everyone! You’ve probably seen dozens of makeup hauls this week on beauty blogs and on YouTube. That’s because Sephora had their Friends & Family sale a couple of weeks ago, followed by the VIB and VIB Rouge Sale last week. Coincidentally (or maybe not!) Ulta also had some sort of sale; I was sent a 20% off all ‘prestige’ (meaning: high end brands) coupon in my email right before the Sephora sale started. These particular Ulta coupons on quite rare, normally they just give a discount on drugstore brands. Both Sephora and Ulta were trying to get into...

Today I will be showing you which products I have used up recently. Recently as in: this past week. Coincidentally, I used up all of these items at the same time and, coincidentally, it’s all been makeup! I’ve actually been throwing out most of my used up makeup and skincare, but from now on I’m going to try to start saving my empties again to show you. Maybe at the end of each quarter? Or every other month? Picture below! I do apologize for it all being so dirty. I’ve clearly had them for a while and I’ve been using...

Happy Saturday, everyone! I’m here today with a beauty deal that I really have to mention. I know I’ve been talking about IT Cosmetics a lot lately, but that’s just because they keep coming out with sets and collections that are too good to pass up! This time it’s another great set for QVC. 🙂 If you’re familiar with these QVC sets you know that they are always a great deal! You get a bunch of full-size and one or two just released products for a fraction of the cost. This particular set that is being sold today (and today...

What a week! It honestly feels like the world as we know it is coming to an end. It really feels that way… It seems silly to talk about makeup brushes right now, but the other day I promised you a closer look at the makeup brushes that IT Cosmetics released for the holidays, so here we are! In this blog post I covered my must-haves from IT Cosmetics’ holiday collection this year, which includes two brush sets: the All That Glitters brush set (sparkly silver everything) and City Chic (for people who love rose gold). These are both beautiful...
